Old images will not work. You *have to* rebuild all your images with
mknbi 1.2-10 or later.

Just keep your DHCP options as they are, but specify a menu image as the
file to load (this was previously ignored when using internal menus).
Then make the menu image using mkelf-menu as explained in the mknbi man
page.
